What's New With The X - Peavey PC 1600X Mode D'emploi

What's New With The X?

The "X" stands for eXpanded! We've started with the popular PC ™ 1600 and
added extensive new features along with a NEW look!
Expanded SysEx Control
Checksum
Now it is possible to designate a byte as "cs" for checksum calculations.
Global Channel Bytes
Many MIDI products use SysEx messages that include a MIDI channel and/or device ID. This is, of course, handy for differentiating among
multiple units of the same type. Normally, changing this byte would require editing of each fader/button individually. Now, a new byte can be a
part of the string that specifies the global MIDI setting or global device ID. By simply changing the global setting, all messages are changed.
Expanded Button Facilities
Send Fader
This feature provides an easy way to send specific fader values. When a button is set to "send fader," it must be pressed to enable a fader
value to be transmitted. Fader movement is used to select a specific value and the button is pressed to send it. By the way, continuing to hold
the button down will enable the fader to work as usual.
Send Scene
This new button function allows any scene to be sent from any of the 16 buttons.
Fader ID
With a button programmed to "Off/Fader ID," pressing the button displays the fader name.
Remote Control
All 16 buttons can now be triggered externally via MIDI notes or program change messages. This is particularly handy for control from a foot
pedal.
Note Capture
This makes it easy to capture clusters of notes (chords) and assign them to a button.
Left Arrow (Mute) Button
When the left arrow button is pressed, the PC 1600x will not generate any MIDI messages (only non-filtered messages arriving at the MIDI IN
will be echoed).
Preset Initialization
This new utility feature allows a preset to be returned to an initialized state. This is handy for programming from "scratch" or freeing up more
dynamically allocated preset memory.
Enhanced Scene Features
Preset Identity
The scene display now indicates the associated preset number.
Scene Initialization
This new scene function allows an existing scene to be initialized, which disassociates it with any preset.
Set-up String Additions
Scenes
A scene can now be assigned to each preset. Any time the preset is recalled, the scene will be transmitted.
Flexible Bank Select
Bank Select editing is now expanded to include MSB or LSB programming.
New Factory Presets
Fifty presets are available that present a wide range of applications.
